Given the time I’ve spent both above and below the Mason-Dixon line, plus a brief sojourn in Chicago in my younger years, it’s of no surprise to me that my font of English has been permanently defiled. 😉
In a way, though, that meant that several questions I could have answered either way. I use both pronunciations for “route” depending on the circumstance, for example. Other questions had the same situational ambiguity. Still, the result is fairly accurate.
